What Eddie Howe interestingly said about Thomas Tuchel in 2022 ahead of becoming England manager
Newcastle United fans will be breathing a sigh of relief.
Eddie Howe won’t become England’s next manager despite previous speculation because Thomas Tuchel will now land that gig.

Given that Howe is the highest-performing English coach right now and the fact that he has made a huge difference to Newcastle, then many thought the national gig was his.
What has further sparked that fire is the off-field noise at Newcastle🌃 and suggestions that all is not right in the boardroom.
🐓But this Tuchel news has, at the very least, put an end to the talk of whether Howe will leave St James’ Park to take the reigns of his country.
ꦺWhat’s interesting is Howe’s comments on the Champions League-winning boss back in 2022 when he had just arrived at Newcastle.
ꩵThen-Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich had just been sanctioned by the UK Government, which was an issue for the London club and Howe expressed his ‘sympathy’ for his counterpart, at the time.
❀Howe lauded Tuchel and how he is an ‘outstanding’ manager and someone who he ‘has got a lot of time for’, as he told .
